Apple to allow outside app stores in overhaul spurred by EU laws

It doesn’t matter whether they do. The anti-tivoization clause in the GPLv3 license (https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#Tivoization) forbids developers from selling iOS apps that contain GPLv3-licensed software (the situation w.r.t. GPLv2 is less clear)

I don't think that would apply if it is possible to compile the app yourself and install your modified version by side loading it.
